Chapters

In order for you to get an erection. The arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that come from your heart that goes to the penis. It opens up blood flow into the penis. The corpus cavernosum, which is the smooth muscle of the penis, gets engorged when it gets filled up with blood. The muscle, the corpus cavernosum, compressing against the buck's fascia. The veins get compressed. When the veins get compressed, the blood stays in the corpus cavernosum or the penis, allowing a firm erection. I hope that makes sense. And therefore, when you have venous leakage, the veins, however, fail to be compressed and therefore the blood flows back out, leading to the loss of erection.
